Movies & TV

I'm pretty sure someone tried to make a movie like this in 90s but it didn't get any attention and I think it kind of wussed out doing anything really hard-hitting. The idea is pretty simple: make a movie where the white and black racial roles in our society are reversed. Black culture dominates society. Whites live in fear of the cops. The economic deck is stacked against the white folks. Definitely hit on the systemic stuff hard. And in the movie, when the whites want to bring up these issues, the media as well as most black folks just don't believe them and dismiss their concerns. Because you know, in America it doesn't matter if you're black or white anyone can pull themselves up out of poverty if they really want it.

I admit, the concept is a bit lib. But I think the real value in a movie like this would be in observing white folks' reaction to it. Conservatives would no doubt fucking lose their shit over it. I mean really lose their shit. Might even get to witness some mask off anger. But even white libs... I think they would find ways to criticize it without wanting to appear like they agree with the conservatives. You know, stuff like "I think it's a good premise but the movie just goes a little over the top".

And I think you could make this movie on a shoestring budget. You really don't need any special effects, sets, props, etc. Within budget of a leftist project, I think. So someone who can make movies, go ahead and give it a go. There's no way in hell any Hollywood studio would even touch this idea.
